When I work with my clients, I sometimes hear the phrase "Well, I'm not going to GIVE away my home!" My response is often "You will never give away your home. The market won't let you." Allow me to explain...There is simply no such thing as UNDER PRICING A HOME! You see, the laws of economics will prevent a home from selling under market value. If a home is truly priced way under the average sales price in the area, the buyers will flock to it and you will receive multiple offers and one of these offers will be the highest price and that highest price IS THE MARKET VALUE OF THE HOME! Remember, a home is only worth what a buyer will pay for it. As you can see, market value is exactly where supply meets demand. If there are a large amount of homes available on the market, the inventory go... 01/12/2008

So, you've got an accepted offer.You've negotiated the inspection items.The attorneys' have approved the contract. ... and you're all done now right? WRONG.In today's times of crazy financing and fluctuating interest rates, the deal isn't a done one yet. There is still the mortgage contingency that has to be worked out.  In better markets of several years past, financing was a foregone conclusion. Now, however, financing is more and more difficult to secure. The lenders are pickier, and loans are getting pulled RIGHT AT THE CLOSING TABLE.As a seller, how can you protect yourself? There are a few things you can do. 1. Get a pre-approval BEFORE you accept an offer. NOT A PRE-QUALIFICATION. A pre-approval is where the lender pulls credit, verifies income and debt load, and has the client f... 10/01/2007

Good question. The answer is very simple. Your home is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it. That's it. There is NO OTHER formula. Appraisers can give you an IDEA of what it might be worth, but just ask your appraiser to buy it for what they appraise it for!A Real Estate agent can give you a "CMA" or Comparative Market Analysis or sometimes called Competitive Market Analysis. This analysis will show you what other similar homes are on the market for, what they are under contract for, and what they have sold for. The real estate appraiser will use this exact same system to give you an opinion of value as well.Again, remember... a real estate agent isn't going to buy your home! The trick to pricing a home is to find the price at which a buyer will make you an offer to purchase... Y... 09/08/2007
